THE IMAMS OP 'OMAN.
Khamis, he asked what he had to say. The sheikh replied:
" I think the better course would be for you to accompany
me with ten men to the date-plantation of the sheikh
Khalfan, where I have also requested your uncle to come
with five attendants only, in order that we may make
peace/' Bedr accordingly went, taking with him one hun
dred of the people of Jaalan, but on seeing that his uncle
had only five men with him he selected a like number from
his escort, and bade the remainder to halt where they were.
Through the medium of the sheikh Khamis peace was con
cluded between the two parties, on condition that the fort of
el-Matrah should be immediately surrendered to Bedr-bin-
Seif. That was accordingly done, and Bedr placed the fort
in charge of a man of the es-Sakasik, named Sam. Kais re
mained at el-Matrah three days longer, and then embarked
with his men for Sohar on board an English ship.
Bedr wrote an account of all these proceedings to the
Seyyid Said, who approved of them; whereupon the latter
dismissed the people of Semiiil, and taking with him the
sheikh Muhammad-bin-Nasir and the men of ezh-Zhahirah
he went to Barkah, from whence he wrote to Bedr to send
him forty thousand dollars for the troops. Bedr borrowed
the money from the merchants and sent it by Mubarak-bin-
Said, the Maula of the el-Jibur. On his arrival he made
some of his men march before him, carrying the money, and
delivered it to Hamid-bin-Nasir; but, according to another
account, Mubarak took the money to the Seyyid Said, who
was then at es-Sib with the ezh-Zhawahir, and the Seyyid
himself gave it to the Hamid-bin-Nasir, whereupon the
latter and his followers returned to ezh-Zhahirah. Thus
terminated the war between the Seyyids, the sons of Sultan,
and Bedr-bin-Seif and their uncle Kais. A reconciliation
was also effected between the Seyyids and Muhammad-bin-
Khalfan-bin-Muhammad, the Wakil Elected representative or attorney, acting in legal matters such as contracting marriage, inheritance, or business; a high-ranking legal official; could also refer to a custodian or administrator. .
After this an estrangement took place between the Seyyid
